Chapter 574 Invalid Research

"Is there anything special about this thing?"

Duke asked very curiously.

On the side, Pan Ming did the same, both of them noticed Lu Li's actions.

At this moment, he was staring at a pocket watch, which should be made of silver, with vines and gears printed on it...

Other than that, there is nothing special about it.

"This should be the compensation given by the principal."

Lu Li felt a little ridiculous. In the past few exams, if the school sealed some abilities of the candidates, they would give clear compensation.

In the era of the big universe, I gave a star map about the earth. Although it has not been effective, it will be useful if it is not complete——

A large-scale scene like this can still be used even if you are promoted to a senior grade, or in other words, only senior students have room to play.

But this time, there were no hints.

"Why don't you try a string?"

Pan Ming took out his pocket watch. It was from the rich to help the poor. At this moment, he looked at the time and said in a deep voice, "It should be 10:32. Yours is two minutes behind."

"Are you sure?"

As he said that, Duke patted his pocket, which was cleaner than his face, so he couldn't help to check the time.

"certainly."

Pan Ming explained: "At ten o'clock in the morning, Westminster Abbey rang ten times. I just got it right. There can be no mistake."

In fact, the two had guessed that Lu Li hadn't been compensated for his ability, so it could only be props, and the principal didn't give any explanation for this.

"Let me try."

Naturally, Lu Li wouldn't doubt Pan Ming's words. In fact, since he came to this world, he hasn't wound his pocket watch, and there will be errors, which are completely expected.

Click... click.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, Lu Li raised the top of the pocket watch and started to adjust it based on the time provided by Pan Ming.

Then, Lu Li pressed it down again and continued to twist it, which was to wind the mainspring of the pocket watch.

Da da da……

The second hand starts to move.

Two pocket watches, the time is completely synchronized.

During this period, nothing miraculous happened.

This made the three of them extremely disappointed. It was just a pocket watch, and its structure was not complicated: dial, watch cover, hands, gears, watch chain...

Frankly speaking, not only Pan Ming who made the suggestion, but even Lu Li felt that "stringing" was the way to open this special item.

"It shouldn't be, is it possible to disassemble the pocket watch?" Duke shook his head, "If it is really a prop, if the internal gear is broken, there is no place to repair it."

Crack, the silver watch cover opens.

Click, the cover closes.

When the boy Mi Gaonang came up with red wine stewed beef, what he saw was Lu Li constantly opening and closing the pocket watch cover.

On the other side, surrounded by Duke and Pan Ming, they were staring at the pocket watch intently.

A watch of great value.

Mi Gao made a judgment silently, and didn't think this thing was so special. After all, the meal they had in the Financial City earlier last night was enough to buy three or four silver pocket watches.

"Sir, this dish is ready, why don't you eat it first? Is there any dish in the kitchen? I have to go and see."

"It's okay, we're in no hurry."

Lu Li stopped what he was doing and looked up at the dining table. The red wine, seasonings, and fresh beef bought from the market in the morning may not look as good as those in a big restaurant, but the taste is definitely not the same.

After Xiaomi went downstairs, he calmed down and continued to look at the pocket watch in his hand.

"Could it be a wrong meaning? The principal didn't compensate at all... But the possibility is almost zero, and the test has always followed the principle of fairness."

Duke denied his conjecture, thought for a long time, and said, "Is it a mistake, maybe something else?"

"impossible."

Lu Li shook his head and asked, "Apart from clothes and initial capital, what else do you have?"

"A legal identity." Pan Ming replied.

"The wolf's head and sword crutches belong to the self-contained equipment that meets the requirements of the times."

As he said that, Lu Li pulled out the crutch that was at hand, and white light flashed across it. It was made of a mysterious metal that resembled platinum, and a great gray wolf was carved on its head. The pattern was very complicated, but it didn't occupy a large area.

As the master, Lu Li knew this weapon which was called a work of art very well, and he often took it out and stroked it. Therefore, he could conclude that the sword crutch was the same as before, without any change——

Sharp and demon-breaking.

Two of the most basic but practical attributes.

"The wordless cowhide book may contain mystical knowledge, and may contain some secrets about this world."

Lu Li didn't hide what he got. He went to the room, took out the things, and explained: "The reward for being the first to stay in Baker Street, the original owner was a medical student from Miskatonic University, and the previous owner died in an accident. .”

When mentioning the word "accident", Lu Li deliberately added the accent to show that things are not that simple.

"Miskatonic?"

Pan Ming had obviously heard of this term, and his eyes lit up. As a master of notes and a master of learning, he had heard of this place before, and said in a deep voice:

"It was founded in 1690 and is located in Arkham, Massachusetts, an Ivy League school. The latter one doesn't need to be delved into. In some worlds it doesn't exist, but in this world, it obviously exists."

"This university is at the forefront of the world in professional fields such as archaeology, occultism, history, and pharmacy, and is rich in investigators.

Of course, most people go to the grave. If they are lucky, they will take part of the truth of the world and spend the rest of their lives in a mental hospital.

If it wasn't for the limited time, I would really like to visit the library of the University of Michigan. There are a large number of treasures, a large number of black magic books, and countless taboos are recorded on it, including the "Necronomicon"..."

After a long time, Pan Ming realized that he had successfully diverted the topic, so he calmed down. But before that, he still asked:

"Where was the previous owner?"

"Because I couldn't pay the rent, I was kicked out by the landlord uncle, and I'm currently living in the East District."

"This guy is really weird." Pan Ming was a little speechless. He really didn't expect that the graduates of the University of Michigan would be reduced to this point.

In this regard, Lu Li agreed, and entered the Mystery Academy to study, but repeatedly rejected the teacher's warm invitation, firmly believing that science is the only truth.

Of course, Dr. Joseph's experience cannot be described as lucky or unlucky. At least he graduated alive. Although he was reduced to the Eastern District, compared to most people, he still had a good life.

"Let's get down to business, how can this thing be used? I don't believe the principal will give useless things."

When they entered the arena, neither Pan Ming nor Duke had a pocket watch on them, nor did they have anything else. Therefore, it is almost certain that it is compensation, and more precisely, it is compensation without instructions for use.

With this in mind, Lu Li decided to continue fiddling with the screw-down crown, probably because he hadn't found the correct way to open it before, and now he's starting over.
